"strife-data" is a mistake, I didn't noticed that strife-wad was then
already referenced by chocolote-doom.

this can be either fixed:
- in G-D-P with rename to strife-wad + a Conflicts & Replace on strife-data
or
- in chocolate-strife , with a Recommends: strife-data
popcon "unknown" list says that there aren't any strife-wad /
strife-wad currently in the wild;
so there is no really to change the recommends of upcoming chocolate-strife .


For the other packages, we try to allways keep backward compatibility
for existing packages;
(and I even try to play nice with popular non-official packages, like
duke3d-shareware)
and the new ones default to <game>-data.

The only package I did renamed is wolf3d-data-wl1 to wolf3d-demo-data
because the old name was quite obscure and not of much help.

Having mixed -wad & -data for a single game is not ideal though;
I would change the -data names to -wad for Heretic & Hexen.
